Sargent 489 26D Exit Deadbolt Satin Chrome 2-3/4 in Backset

Product Description

The SARGENT 489 26D is an exit deadbolt configured with a turn function on the interior and a blank plate on the exterior. This hardware is designed for single-direction egress control, allowing occupants to exit freely from the inside while the exterior presents a clean, non-operable plate face. The 2-3/4 inch backset fits standard commercial and heavy-duty residential door preparations. The satin chrome (26D) finish provides a low-glare, brushed appearance suited to high-traffic corridors, stairwells, and exit passages. Installation is typically performed by a licensed locksmith or commercial door hardware technician.

This exit deadbolt is appropriate for commercial interiors where one-way egress is required without exterior entry hardware. Common applications include storage rooms, server rooms, mechanical spaces, and interior exit doors where exterior access is intentionally restricted. The blank exterior plate keeps the door face clean while the interior turn knob or thumb-turn operates the deadbolt for egress. The 2-3/4 inch backset is the standard dimension for most commercial hollow-metal and wood door frames.
